Age: 18
Name: Cody Van Lauer
Personality: Cody is a cold, calculating, and arrogant psychopath. He considers himself a brilliant scientist and everyone else merely lab rats. He feels no remorse, is extremely intelligent and meticulous, and never leaves evidence. His madness manifests itself in a manic obsession with viruses.
Appearance: He has pale skin and tousled dark or brown hair. Due to constant exposure to chemicals and lack of sleep, he has deep shadows under his eyes. To protect himself from his own viruses, he always wears a black protective respirator mask. He also wears a dark gray or black hooded sweatshirt, often over which he wears a protective vest with pockets for test tubes. He also wears dark jeans and heavy gloves. His weapon of choice is a baseball bat studded with nails. He is 174 cm tall.
Backstory: Cody's mother became pregnant by a man who didn't want the child, so she hid the pregnancy. Cody was born at home, and no official agency knew of his existence (he had no documents). When Cody was a child, his mother died of a serious illness. The boy was sent to an orphanage, where no one wanted to adopt him because of his lack of documents and strange behavior. He grew up withdrawn and bullied. Finally, he was adopted by a man named John, a research scientist. John treated Cody well and began teaching him chemistry and biology. Cody developed a genuine love for science and spent all his time in the lab, helping his father study various viruses and bacteria. John took his research too far and began kidnapping homeless people to test new, deadly strains of viruses on them. Cody not only knew about this but also helped his father, considering these people simply "expendable." The police were on John's trail. During the assault on the house and lab, John was shot dead in front of Cody. Cody himself managed to escape into the woods, taking with him a bag containing test tubes, syringes, and toxic viruses. The realization that he had lost the only person close to him completely destroyed him.

Name: Catherine Milens/Hayes.
Personality: In her proxy form, Kate completely loses her humanity. She acts like a wild animal—hunting, stalking, growling, and grunting. She takes pleasure in cornering her prey. While other proxies sometimes struggle with their mental control, Kate is completely subservient to the Slender Man. She is his faithful dog, who will attack anyone who disturbs her master's peace. Before she went mad, Kate was a kind, creative, but very scared girl. She tried to protect herself and her friend, KR, by boarding up the windows of her house, but Slender Man completely broke her will.
Appearance: Kate wears a white mask, and her eyes gleam wildly in the darkness. Her tousled dark hair is visible beneath the mask. She wears a blood-stained gray hoodie with the hood pulled up and dark jeans. The clothing and mask give her a frightening and androgynous appearance. Kate doesn't use axes or crowbars—her main weapons are her long claws and incredible, superhuman speed. While chasing the player, she makes a terrifying, animalistic growl and wheeze. She can be temporarily blinded by a bright flashlight beam. Height: 173
Prehistory: As a child, she and her friend CR often went to Oakside Woods to look for ghosts as a joke. Even then, they began seeing Slender Man, but the adults didn't believe them. Over the years, Slender Man's haunting of Kate grew more intense. She began drawing him on hundreds of sheets of paper and boarding up the windows of her house. After her mother's death, Kate went completely insane, and Slender Man dragged her into the woods, completely breaking her will and turning her into a soulless puppet (a proxy).

Years: 24
Full name: Brian Thomas
Personality: He almost never speaks. If he needs to say something, he expresses himself in short sentences or writes notes. Unlike the hot-tempered Masky and the hyperactive Toby, Hoodie is always calm. He's cool-headed, calculating, and never panics.
Appearance: A deep orange hoodie—hence his nickname. The hood is always pulled over his head. He wears simple black or dark gray jeans and combat boots. He wears a completely black mask (a balaclava or thick fabric) with a sad smiley face painted in red on it (two dots for eyes and a sad smile). Weapon: A pistol. Height: 182 cm.
Backstory: Brian was an introverted, quiet, and very secretive teenager (around 16-18 years old). He struggled with peers, which often led to him being bullied. The only one who understood him was Tim. Tim and Brian both fell under the Slenderman's mental influence. The creature manipulated Brian, increasing his depression, paranoia, and causing him to withdraw from people. He voluntarily (or under complete mind control) donned his iconic hoodie, hid his face, and retreated to the Slenderman Mansion, becoming the second proxy. He created the Hoodie persona himself to secretly exact revenge on Alex Kraley.

Years: 23
Name: Timothy Wright
Second Personality: Tim suffered from severe headaches, memory lapses, hallucinations, and mental disorders from early childhood. Because of this, he was treated in a psychiatric hospital for a long time and was forced to constantly take special pills. When Tim stopped taking the pills (or under the influence of the Operator), he developed a second personality—Masked Man (Masky). Tim himself remembers absolutely nothing during the "switch." He simply falls asleep in one place and wakes up a few days later in another—beaten, in the mud, or in the woods. The Mask personality is mute, aggressive, and acts impulsively, like a wild animal.
Appearance: He has thick, perfectly styled brown hair with voluminous sideburns. His face is pale, with deep dark circles under his eyes from constant sleeplessness. He wears a bright yellow zip-up jacket, black or dark blue jeans, and chunky combat boots. He is 170 cm tall. His weapon is a pistol.
Prelude: Tim's fragile psyche made him an ideal target for Slenderman. The creature stalked him for a long time in the forest, intensifying his headaches and driving him mad until it completely took over his mind. During one of his fits of madness, when Tim lost control and his violent personality (Mask) activated, he brutally murdered his parents (or school enemies). Afterwards, he set fire to the house, took his mask and jacket, and fled into the cursed forest.

Years: 19
Name: Tobias Erin Rogers
Diseases: does not feel pain (CIPA syndrome), Tourette syndrome (without coprolalia), mental disorders bipolar disorder and schizophrenia
Personality: His mood changes with the snap of his fingers. He can be frighteningly calm, and then the next moment he'll erupt into an uncontrollable, insane rage (in canon, during a fit of rage, he brutally killed his own father). Due to Tourette's syndrome (twitching, neck cracking) and childhood trauma, he's extremely unsociable and hostile to strangers.
Appearance: His real eyes are dark brown, almost black. Due to the accident and the fact that he clawed at his face, his right cheek is torn, exposing his teeth and gums (hence why he wears a mask). He wears gray jeans, a dark blue hoodie, and a brown striped sweatshirt over it. He wears round protective glasses with orange lenses and a black and white muzzle mask. He has brown hair. Height: 170-173 cm. Weapons: 2 axes.
Prelude: Toby grew up an outcast. Bullied at school, he was homeschooled. His father became an abusive alcoholic who regularly beat his wife and children. Toby's only support was his older sister, Lyra. When Toby was 17, he and Lyra were in a car accident. Lyra died right before his eyes. The teenager's psyche completely collapsed, and he was locked at home. He began picking the skin off his fingers (feeling no pain) and suffering from hallucinations. Toby began seeing a tall, suited figure outside his window and in reflections—the Slender Man—who slowly drove him insane. One day, Toby's father began to lash out again. The boy had a fit of rage, grabbed a kitchen knife, and brutally killed his father. Realizing what he had done, Toby took two of his father's axes from the garage, doused the street and the house with gasoline, and set fire to escape. Trapped in a fiery forest, Toby prepared to die, but Slenderman appeared before him and took him away. Slenderman completely erased his memories of the past and relieved him of his emotional pain, turning him into his loyal and ruthless companion.
